Le Saint Philippe 1693 after Jean-Claude Lemineur (Ancre) in scale 1:48

Could be the lack of macro imaging

Ha, macros not required to assess your skill level, the beauty of your work is a feast for the eyes. I also have varying planking thickness on my ship which are kit supplied and am wondering how well the ridges will sand down to a smooth finish.

Work in progress #3.

This week brought the exterior hull planking to its conclusion. I still need to add nails and trenails as appropriate and then I'll complete the final sanding.

As I suggested earlier, a stern section model reveals the way the planking changes in thickness on a ship:

And a quick peak at what the interior now looks like:

Right now I am leaning in the direction of not planking the lower hull. This necessitated the installation of filling pieces between the frames along the top of the keel. These chocks were notched to allow a channel for bilge water. It would have been much, much easier to install these fillers at the time of framing...

Thank you, gentlemen. Nothing that endless sanding can't accomplish .

Woke up this morning to a winter wonderland...



I'm no fan of the cold - but the first significant snowfall of the season reminds me that God's beauty can be found in all seasons of life if we take the time to notice it. Be blessed my friends!

We’re blessed with warmer weather on the Gulf Coast.

Lovely photo Paul! Now if you could just package that up and send it our way that’d be great! We need to get some snow so we can get some skiing in…
Dismal start to winter for us…

This is at 9,000 ft where normally at this time of year we have 5-6 feet of snow.

I don't put up a picture of the Dutch weather. It isn't called "kikkerlandje" (frogland) for no reason. Depressive when I look outside.
